Governance Profile: Georgia

World Bank governance: rule of law 50th percentile, corruption control 63rd percentile, political stability 19th percentile.

Georgia's strongest governance dimension is Regulatory Quality at 70/100, placing it in the upper half globally. This suggests the government can formulate and implement sound regulations that support private sector development.

The weakest dimension is Political Stability at 19/100. Political instability concerns may affect the overall security environment and long-term predictability.

A wide 51-point gap between the highest and lowest indicators signals deeply uneven governance. Strong performance in Regulatory Quality contrasts sharply with weakness in Political Stability. This kind of imbalance often means that day-to-day experiences can vary dramatically depending on which government functions are involved.

Georgia's moderate governance scores suggest travelers should prepare for some institutional inconsistency. Public services may be unreliable in certain areas, and regulatory enforcement can be uneven. Travel insurance and advance planning are recommended.

The U.S. State Department currently rates Georgia as Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions). This aligns with a governance profile that, while not without challenges, provides a baseline of institutional functioning.
